Elfrid Payton recorded his first career triple-double against his clone Rajon Rondo but it was notenough to get the Magic a win against the Dallas Mavericks. Here we are again. The Magic were close.

The Orlando Magic defense performed a disappearing act as the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to score 123 points on better than59 percent shooting. All of the defensive improvement the Magic have shown under James Borrego disappeared Sunday night at Amway Center.

The Indiana Pacers turned up the offense and made the Magic look silly, with a 32-point victory at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Orlando Magic got out to an eight-point lead in the first quarter and looked like they would find a solid groove to compete against the streaking hot Indiana Pacers.

Orlando&#039;s frontcourt defense has been bad over the past six games, making obvious the need for a rangy defender to be drafted or signed this offseason. The Orlando Magic&#8217;s frontcourt rotation is potentially much stronger defensively with Dewayne Dedmon, Aaron Gordon and Maurice Harkl...2015-03-09 12:39:183/7: Baller Mind Frame- Shorthanded Orlando Magic Hold Off Sacramento Kings, 119-115http://www.ballermindframe.com/2015/03/07/shorthanded-orlando-magic-hold-off-sacramento-kings-119-115/
The Orlando Magic entered tonight&#8217;s matchup against the Sacramento Kings on a four-game losing streak. To add injury to insult, they were going to be severely undermanned with Evan Fournier, Luke Ridnour, Willie Green, Devyn Marble, and Nikola Vucevic all being ruled out for the game.

The Orlando Magic put on an offensive onslaught to defeat the Sacramento Kings. And the source of that offense came from surprising places. The Orlando Magic put on an offensive show, shooting better than 60 percent through the first half and scoring a season-high 68 points in the first half.

The Orlando Magic faced another potential late-game collapse after losing a big lead. This time they held firm and took the game from the Sacramento Kings. Following Wednesday&#039;s loss to the Phoenix Suns, Tobias Harris was terse and frustrated.

Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 38 points in the Orlando Magic&#8217;s 105-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night, displaying an array of moves and playing at his absolute best. When Victor Oladipo is hitting his three-point shot, there is really no answer for him defensively.

Victor Oladipo set a career high in points with 38 but it was not enough to overcome Orlando&#039;s 21 turnovers. The Magic tried something new tonight but the result was all too familiar.

It&#039;s crazy how much can change in a week in the NBA. Seven days ago, I was writing about how Orlando Magic interim coach James Borrego had made a solid start to life as the main man on the pine. The team had won three games in a row, admittedly against quite poor teams, and was showing vast imp2015-03-03 10:37:513/2: Orlando Magic Daily- Is it time Orlando Magic should change frontcourt starters?http://orlandomagicdaily.com/2015/03/02/time-orlando-magic-change-frontcourt-starters/
The Magic&#039;s starting frontcourt has struggled mightily and it may be time for a change.

Andrew Nicholson is finding himself on the court more often, producing well, and showing his value as an NBA player. While Nicholson may never be starter-caliber, he&#8217;s proving that there&#8217;s a place for him in the Association.

After suffering another loss by the Atlanta Hawks&#8217; balanced attack, the Orlando Magic would suffer the same fate at the hands of Mo Williams and the Charlotte Hornets, thanks to a big third quarter in which they only missed five of their first 17 attempts.

Stability is difficult to find with Magic head coach James Borrego unable to make up his mind as to which guys belong on the court. The story of the Orlando Magic&#8217;s 98-83 loss can be told through a simple observation of assists to turnovers.

The Orlando Magic are finding themselves down early and down often. Poor first and third quarters are putting the team in a deep hole to fight out of.

The Orlando Magic bench has struggled to perform this year, but it played well in the 95-84 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday (Feb 20).

Jason Thompson thus far has spent his entire seven-year NBA career playing for the Sacramento Kings. Maybe that would wear on someone.
